PaPiRus Zero Kit

Please note: If you need a replacement / extra screen they are available here. PaPiRus Zero is an ePaper / eInk screen pHAT designed for the Raspberry Pi Zero and the new Raspberry Pi Zero W. It's one of the first true low power displays for the Pi Zero mini computer.

Kit contains:

• Pi Zero W (comes with pre soldered header)
• PaPiRus Zero - Medium
• PaPiRus Zero Case

ePaper / eInk is a display technology that mimics the appearance of ink on normal paper. eUnlike conventional displays, ePaper reflects light just like ordinary paper and is capable of holding text and images indefinitely, even without electricity. Because of this, ePaper displays and single board computers or microcontrollers are a match made in heaven as together they use a very small amount of power whilst still bringing a display to your project. The ePaper display that comes as standard with this kit is a 2.0" display. One fantastic aspect of the ePaper display is the fact they don't need any power to keep the image on the screen. Just like a Kindle, you can read whatever is on your screen in daylight without any reflection. More information including wiring diagrams, datasheets & and links to example code are available at rePaper.
